Should I presume date is still on?

[lnging]

So we arranged dare Monday night (day time place etc)

Yesterday we exchanged 2 messages in morning and his last one was just saying restaurant we are going to has "steak &lobster Wednesday" and was I ok with that? Responded "it sounded great"

Haven't heard since which is fine don't want to chat to much before date.

So today's date night and heard nothing, should I presume it's still on or should I be waiting for/sending confirmation text?

Would you just arrive at arranged time without confirmation

Ummm.. I would say–I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope she is OK and would of been lovely for your to let me know sooner.. but as it is I'll have another glass of wine :-)

Rubbish!

Sounds like absolute crap to me

Should I just reply

No worries and leave at that, surely if it's true and he is keen he will reschedule

Strange man. Don’t reply

I would reply that since you had not heard from him to confirm the date as you requested earlier you did not go. Play him at his own game.

How annoying, it would have been easier in a way if he had never replied. I think it’s lame tbh. He could have text, he would have known you were probably there already waiting. I’d blow him out, but then perhaps I’m harsh. First impressions mean a lot.

Your outfit looks lovely! His loss for sure!

I don't fully believe that text, as he really could have messaged you earlier ☹️

How long does it take to send a text saying sorry emergency cant come.....

^^This. Unless he suggested setting up another date ASAP I'd call bullshit.

I’m sorry but they can FRO!

I'd ignore it. Forever.

But- in the midst of all the chaos he was able to get online, that you could see on the dating site?

Don't reply.

Sorry but he's making excuses. Who texts someone at the time they were meant to meet! He definitely could have found time to text before the actual date. I have 4 kids and can still manage a text. Sorry op.

Don't massage his ego by replying. Enjoy your night and block him.

Oh, bin him off. Don't reply, what a twat. Takes seconds to call someone on speaker.

Yeh, he’s lying. Don’t reply and block him

Nah say no problem he could have let you know sooner hope all goes well take care all the best. And leave it at that now order your food.😀

No point playing games just move on.

Nope don't believe the text at all!
I'd definitely just say "ok no worries" and leave it, if he likes you that much he will make an effort to get things back on track ASAP.

Sorry to add he is clearly not that into you and if you reply in the way you have just mentioned you will start coming across as desperate. Just move on, you have wasted enough time on him today.

Just sending no worries is perfect and leaves the ball in his court and you with your dignity

Just read this whole thread. OP, you look fantastic and sound lovely too, he's missed out big time.
I would just ignore. Sounds like absolute bollocks - seriously, he couldn't send one text saying 'I'm so sorry but there's been a family emergency - my sister has gone into early labour and I've been drafted in as emergency childcare. Are you free next Tuesday at all so I can buy you a glass of wine to apapologise?'.. absolute bullshit.

Even if he tries to reschedule...don't.
It takes less than a minute to send a text. So rude.

I'd reply with: 'hope you're sister is ok, it would've been helpful if you'd let me know before I arranged a babysitter, and came out and waited for you in the pub'

And then block him. Twat.

Even if it is true it's not good enough

Offer to whizz straight round and give him a hand - poor bloke must have his hands full.... Oh won't take no for an answer, you poor thing etc...
